my deepest Desire is to become the most accomplished runner I can be.. doing halfs and moving on to full.. partaking in dance classes, bunging jumping, ziplinig, rock climbing all while feeling comfortable doing so without getting out of breath or having my thighs rubbing together. living life to the fullest. I want to set a example for others and work towards opening my health center.

these are the steps I will take to help me reach my desires

Eat clean and live a healthy life.. become the person I am meant to be, but love the person I am now.

My pledge to Myself from BFLFW

I will give to myself as I give to others
I will value my heath as I value the health of my loved ones.
I wont ask should I or shouldn't I about matters of self care.
I will just do it.
I humbly accept that I must work to be the best me I can be
I will choose to work for myself than abandon myself
I will embrace adversity as an oppertunity to test my mental and physical strength

Dragons Quote"But most of all, whichever of life's passions move you, get out there and make the most of it. Life's too short to pass it up. Truly live life to the fullest."

if you refuse to accept anything but the very best, you very often get it.

Im ready to finish my transformation.. Im ready to change.. break out of my cocoon I have been in for so long and soar like the beautiful butterfly I was born to be. will you join me?.. we can fly together..

I am 43 years old now.. I have accomplished alot on this journey.. I started out at 415 pounds.. Im still a work in progress but have released almost a whole person. I have more work to do.
In 2011 I lost my dad to cancer from smoking and I let my life go. I was also taking care of my disabled mom until last month.
I met a man this year.. Bry is so amazing and supportive.. I moved to PA away from my family to be with him. He cares about living a healthy lifestyle and were finishing our journeys together. no more yo yoing. I am finished with that. no more excuses its tie to finish what I started years ago.
enough of letting my life go. its time to take it back and thats what I am doing this new year.. alot of changes to come. my life is still unwritten. and im writing it this year!..

anything that keeps me moving.. I do love running and I am aspiring to be like my running inspirations on PT..

My plan:

watch what I eat, drink water and exercise.. its worked so far
nutrarian eating, plant based foods, beans , seeds, healthy grains
eliminate meats
eliminate gluten

I need the most help with:

staying motivated
emotional eating

Additional Info:

if I can help anyone feel free to whsiper. I love meeting new people and making friends. I speak My miknd.. dont ask if you dont want to hear the truth. I am very outspoken. sometimesmaybe too much lol
I dont pussy foot arround. I care about my friends here. I will support them when they need it, but I will kick thier arse when they need that too. I hppe they continue to do the same for me..
teamwork: we will do this together.. no one is alone on this journey. we all want the same ultimatge goal to be healthy and fit. lets go for it!!
